Hi Benedykt, I pulled the AMOS Extension libraries apart earlier this year in preparation for the next stage in tidying up AMOS Pro.  The GUI 2 extension looked to fairly 'clean', at least it follows all the rules for an extension.  I can't however make any comment on the contents without a lot of reverse engineering.

A couple of things to try:
The GUI 2 extension must go in slot 24.
I noticed the AMCAF extension is also included in the GUI 2 package.  AMCAF does make some changes to amos.library.  It may be that these aren't compatible.  So try an AMOS configuration with just the GUI 2 extension loaded if you've been using AMCAF as well.  Otherwise, try backing up your current LIBS:amos.library and replacing it with the original in case AMCAF replaced it.

Failing the above I can't be of much use  .  Unfortunately I'm working when I can to get AMOS Pro V2.10 completed and haven't got the time to chase up details on the extensions.  Just getting some workable source code out of them doesn't make it easy to understand exactly how they're working let alone going bug hunting  .  If you're interested, the disassemblies and the docs on how to proceed are here.  But it's a steep learning curve  .

Hello i open aga screen in Amos Gui extension 2.1
Correct command:
Gui Screen open 0,320,256,256,$21000,GRZEGORZ$.

I have another problem, My code:
Gui Screen Open 1,320,256,256,$21000,GRZEGORZ$
ZZZ$="dh1:martusia256a.iff"
 Reserve As Data 1,92768
Bload ZZZ$,1
Gui Display Iff 1 To 1,1

I try load 8bit color iff uncompressed picture and show on screen.
Problem is Amos don't show picture on screen.

Somebody can help?

Is the bank large enough?

Safer is to let AMOS determine the correct length on the fly (that's what computers are for  ) with the added advantage that you don't need to change the code if the file size changes:

Gui Screen Open 1,320,256,256,$21000,GRZEGORZ$
ZZZ$="dh1:martusia256a.iff"
Open In 1,ZZZ$
L=Lof(1)
Reserve As Data 1,L
Close
Bload ZZZ$,1
Gui Display Iff 1 To 1,1

It's also a good idea to put Trap instructions on the file access lines and follow up with If Errtrap ... to make it bomb proof if there's a problem with the file or the name's misspelt.

Not working

no error but no picture

Try adding a Screen To Back or Screen Close instruction at the end as well as a wait loop that queries for a mouse click event.  That should move the orange screen behind yours or close it until you click the mouse.
